president obama is laying out an ambitious plan of action for his final days in office. the president asked republicans-controlled congress to back what he called middle class economics. >> he also threatened to veto legislation blocking his agenda. we have highlights of the president's address. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president obama takes off from the white house in about 20 minutes for a two-day trip to idaho and kansas. trying to take the better economic climate on the road for a push to create more middle class wealth through government action. that's an agenda the new republican congress is likely to resist. >> the president of the united states. >> reporter: the theatrics were the same but the audience republicans in charge of the house and senate, was completely different. with economic confidence and his poll numbers rising the president told republicans his

policies turned the country around. >> we believed we could reverse the tide of outsourcing and draw new jobs to our shores. and over the past five years our businesses have created more than 11 million new jobs. >> so the verdict is clear. middle class economics works. expanding opportunity works. and these policies will continue to work as long as politics don't get in the way. >> reporter: but republicans are unlikely to forget the midterm election they won handedly and the power it gives them to push their oh agenda one that does not include the president's pitch for higher taxes on the wealthy and more federal spending. >> that means helping folks afford child care college, health care a home retirement. and my budget will address each of these issues. >> reporter: the white house is already issued seven veto threats to block republicans, and last night the president went through key items on that list. >> we can't put the security of families at risk by taking away

their health insurance or unraveling the new rules on wall street, or refighting past battles on immigration when we've got to fix a broken system. and if a bill comes to my desk that tries to do any of these things i will veto it. >> reporter: last year there was no talk of isis or a two-front air war to defeat it in iraq and syria. >> instead of getting dragged into another ground war in the middle east we are leading a broad coalition including arab nations to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group. this effort will take time. it will require focus, but we will succeed. >> reporter: republicans sat silently through most the president's address but welcomed calls for more trade deals and a new battle against isis and the continuing threat of post-9/11 terrorism. >> major, thank you siege. in the republican response newly elected iowa senator joni

earnsette ernst is ready to give republicans what they really need. >> i'd like to have a conversation about the new republican congress you just elected and how we plan to make washington focus on your concerns again. americans have been hurting, but when we demanded solutions too often, washington responded with the same stale mind-set that led to failed policies like obamacare. >> the senate's first female combat veteran also called for closing tax loopholes, creating jobs and defeating terrorism. with us now from washington, the vice president of the united states joe biden. mr. vice president good morning. >> hey, charlie. how ya doing? >> let me begin with this. everybody's talking this morning about how defind the president was. "new york times" says a bold call to action even if no action is likely. did the president say to you, mr. vice president, we've won two elections, we didn't do so well in the midterms.

the republicans control the congress, but let's go on the offensive. let's pull it out and go right for the goals that we want? is there, and in his conversations with you, a sense we'll be on the offensive the next two years? >> no. what the sense is charlie, we work together closely, is it's time to talk about the middle class. congressman ernst just said the people have concerns. they have concerns about child care. concerns about good jobs. concerns about the fact the roads don't work in their area. concerned about attracting businesses to come and stay. they're common concerns. charlie, did you notice that when all of the talk about the recovery finally having been solid, all the things the president said in the beginning of his speech including reducing the deficit significantly, have you noticed an awful lot of republicans, the last three weeks or four weeks are claiming credit for this recovery? what caused the recovery were the programs that, in fact, we put in place. all the president is saying is don't stop the momentum now. you're acknowledging these real momentum.

keep it going. get the middle class a better del and the prelude to this charlie, talking about taxing the rich. there is one tax that affects -- trust fund people. if you buy $10 million worth of stock if you're wealthy enough and you die, by the time you leave it to your heirs it's worth $50 million, you pay capital gains on it except if you have that kind of money and you leave it in that circumstance. they pay no tax. so we're just saying hey, look. what's more appropriate? to spend $220 billion and give middle class tax people a tax break? or continue something that has no productive value and not a single republican can give you a good argument why there should be an exception to them paying tax on that. so they're the kind of -- >> they control the congress. don't you need to reach out to them inial a way that says, we're not just going to present our proposal but want to cooperate and find a common ground? >> sure we do. i have met with the leadership

having private meetings of my own. 17 leading republican senators have already talked to me. i've invited them to my home we have private conversations. they know what has to happen what we have to do keep the focus on the middle class. i believe the majority of the republican party still believes in the notion that we have to have the best trained people in the world to attract business and the best infrastructure in the world. they've got a lot of outside pressure from from particular interest groups just like the democrats do but if we keep talking about this. look have you ever heard the republican say, use the phrase middle class as much as you've heard in the last year? they get it. they get it. so is the idea we're going to stay silent and not talk about the value system i'm convinced they, in fact, agree on? and everybody -- i looked down as that chamber and i like major a lot but i saw the republican stand an awful lot. i didn't -- i looked down and saw a whole lot of friends in both political parties.

i like those guys. >> let me get my colleagues in mr. vice president. >> mr. vice president, let me ask you about foreign policy. one of the big headlines last night is the president is asking congress for an authorization of military force against isil. the president said last flight to the american people that our military is stopping isil's advance, but if you look at the map, over the past three moss, in fact, isil has gained more territory in syria. do we need to rethink our strategy? >> scukanecno. what we need to do double down on our strategy. if you notice weeb we're making progress against isil in iraq. in iraq a more eununifyied government. they're losing ground. >> not in syria, mr. vice president. >> let me answer. you asked me, we're losing ground. we're gaining ground in iraq. syria, there are no boots on the ground. syria is a dysfunctional country

with nobody in charge. the fact of the matter is, we're working with our arab allies and european allies to begin to build coalitions to be able to take on both assad and isil and it is a difficult process. it's going to take time. and there is no existential threat no the united states because of what's going on there but there is a threat to the reach rch and we are making progress. the president and i come from a school of thought that says the congress has an equal say on war and peace. they should step up and say, okay, mr. president. we agree with you. this is the authority you have to go after isil in this geographic area within this time frame. it's the best way to do business to get everybody in on the deal. that's why the president's asking for a new what they call you know -- an aumf, the authorization for the use of force. >> can i ask about security at your home? shots fired at your home in

delaware. luckily you and your family weren't home. are you concerned "the washington post" is raising security issues there's an issue with your system. are you worried? >> no. i'm not. my house is way off the road. no evidence it was shot at the house. they found shell casings over 100 yard length of time. four shells. a car must have been going by at a fairly high rate of speed. appears someone on the passenger's side fired a gun and my house is on the -- on the driver's side. it's about 100 yards away. >> okay. >> there's no evidence of anything hitting the house. i'm not at all worried. >> okay. you don't think anybody's trying to get you? >> no i don't. >> okay. >> at least not physically. >> before we say good-bye what do you make of deflate gate? 11 of 129 balls legitimate degrees pat trits used were under inflated? what do you think of that? soft balls? >> well, tell you what having been a receiver i like a softer ball. nats all i can tell you.

>> vice president joe biden, always good to see you, sir. >> must have ban wide receiver. >> good to see you guys. >> i wasn't bad at it. >> good-bye, vice president joe biden. thank you. >> soft hands. soft hands. >> yes, i know. >> thanks a lot. as republican leader kevin mckarnlg will tell us what he thinks of the president's agenda and how the new republican congress will respond to that. that's ahead on cbs "this morning." last night the president vowed to fight violent extremism in the middle east. this morning u.s. navy ships are on standby to evacuate american embassy workers from yemen. rebel fighters are holding the president captive in his home in the capital of sana'a and control the presidential palace. a top army commander calls it an unfolding coup. the fighting caused extensive damage in the capital. yemen is a major base for al qaeda. cbs news senior contributing is near washington a former deputy director of the cia. michael, good morning. >> good morning. >> this was disturbing as yemen

is one of our closest allies in the fight against terrorism. who is this group of rebels? >> this group is a shia group in what is a largely sunni country, fighting an insurgency against the government for years. there's been on again, off again cease-fires. they rolled into sana'a last fall. there's been negotiations underway. those negotiations broke down in the last few days. >> so the yemeni government accuses iran of backing this rebel group and i know the saudis are worried about that. is that a concern? >> one of the interesting things is that everybody is focused on the iranian nuclear problem, but iran poses many many challenges to us and our allies. they want to be "the" most influential power in the region. that's not in our interests. they conduct terrorism as a toofl state craft. they support terrorist groups. they support sunni insurgent groups in the region. this is an example of that. >> what can the united states do?

>> you know this happened once before. there was a political breakdown in sana'a in 2011-2012. during that period of time charlie, al qaeda in yemen grew significantly. it ended up controlling almost one-third of the country. we put this back together politically at that time. state department did a very very good job, and once it was put back together the yemeni government working with the u.s. government was able to go after al qaeda. that's going to have to be done again here i think. what's really dangerous, charlie is that al qaeda is now going to have space. right? because nobody's focusing on it as these two groups fight, al qaeda will have the space to grow and pose threats. >> thanks mike. this morning police in israel call a violent stabbing spree a terror attack. police say a palestinian man stabbed nine people on a bus in tell vooeb. aviv. some in serious conditions.

allegations? >> the nfl saying the investigation will take another two to three days. the espn confirming those positions describing an nfl official as disappointed, angry and distraught. >> he's going to be going after a fourth lombardi trophy. >> reporter: according to reports, 11 of the 12 footballs used by new england in sunday's game were each underinflated by two pounds per square inch or about 16%, which could have given the patriots an unfair advantage. >> what's the situation here? >> reporter: the nfl requires each team to provide 12 of its own footballs for the game. an official then examines the footballs and clears them for use two hours before kickoff. each of the 12 balls was weighed again by league officials at halftime and the nfl is investigating just how almost all of the patriots footballs became underinflated. >> look out it's intercepted. >> reporter: but the bottom line, while the indianapolis

colts were playing with fully inflated regulation football the patriots reportedly were using the deflated footballs. experts say those balls would be easier to grip and catch especially in rainy conditions of this past sunday. cbs news reached out last night to the nfl, which told us we are not commenting on the matter at this time. and overnight, cbs news reported that some in the baltimore ravens organization believes there was irregularities used for kickoffs and punts in their playoff gaem against the pate fritz in new england one week earlier in that hard-fought division's playoff game patriots trailed at the half and beat the ravens by only four points. even if the patriots have an unfair advantage, not much of a penalty. a $25,000 fine potentially a loss of a draft pick or two. a small price to pay if it helps you get to the super bowl.

>> we'll follow this. thank you. charlie and gayle? >> thank you, nora. now 7:19. that investigation will continue for sure. ahead on cbs "this morning," another fraternity faces rape allegations. this time at duke university. a woman believed she was

"the new york times" says an internal review by the cia found the agency repeatedly overstated the value of intelligence it gains from its brutal interrogation tactics of terrorist suspects. the so-called panetta review was back in 2009. >> the "los angeles times" says the measle outbreak that started at disneyland last month

i think they'll have to go to court in order to have these words removed. the image of paris have been prejudice and the honor of paris has been prejudiced. >> they allowed no-go zones, it was said. >> it's been scary. i've been to afghanistan, iraq kashmir, and at times it's felt like that. you see young men wearing osama bin laden t-shirts in a shop. >> it was added these zones were common throughout europe. >> it's not just no-go zones there. it's like birmingham where non-muslims don't go in. >> prime minister david cameron was aghast. >> i thought it must be april

and apologize to any and all who may have taken offense including people of france and england. >> on tuesday michael clemente, fox news executive president said, we empathize with the citizens of france as they go through a healing process and return to everyday light. however, we find the mayor's comments regarding a lawsuit misplaced. >> how much of a chance do they think the mayor has of filing a successful lawsuit against them? >> i think the filing would be largely symbolic because, you know the u.s. has a wide swath of protections for their publishers and also their media outlet outlets. there's this thing called the speech act which was enacted in 2010 which does just that. it protects publishers and the media outlets from being sued by courts overseas. >> interesting development. a fra ternlts at duke university is suspended this morning. it stems from rape allegations.

choices. >> she was at her daughter's bedside when brittany maynard took the medication that would end her life. >> i was either going to be there and be strong or i was not going to be there and regret it the rest of my life. >> it was a day that had been fast approaching ever since the 29-year-old was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. >> we were all terrified. >> terrified of what the end would be. >> very terrified. my daughter would wake up in the hospital and she was gasping for breath. >> just weeks before her death brittney spoke to jan crawford about how she wished to die before her symptoms worsened. >> i wouldn't have want to suffer for weeks or be unconscious or lose the ability to speak and all of these terrible things that can happen. >> she did not want people telling her that she must suffer and that she must lose every

single skill, her ability to swallow, her ability to stand. >> brittney wanted to choose when she died so she was forced to leave california and move to oregon where a doctor could then legally prescribe medication that would end her life. >> and so we went from sheer agonizing terror to having a plan. >> brittany maynard's story reignited the debate over right-to-die legislation. later zeigler will join as they tack steps toward right-to-die legislation. >> i think brittany maynard galvanized public opinion. it's a conversation that needs to happen across the country and in california, and that's what this is about. >> what we're really looking at doing is creating a compassionate option for end of

life-choice. >> but opponents say this freedom to choose death is not an option at all. >> financial and emotional pressures can also make people choose death when it's not really their choice. it's, in a sense, a phony sense of freedom. >> still for brittany maynard, the choice was clear. when she decided it was time to take her prescribed medication, she was surrounded by the people she loved. >> i sat by her bedside and i read her poetry until i was sure she couldn't hear anymore. >> you still wish you could have had more time. >> yeah. you're grasping but objectively. you look back and say, thank heavens she went so quickly and so sweet. >> for "cbs this morning," john blackstone sacramento.

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, january 21st, 2015. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including the state of the union, house republican leader kevin mccarthy tells us how the gop will respond to president obama. all the president is saying don't stop the momentum now. now let's keep it going, let's get the middle class a better deal. >> republicans sat silently through most of the president's address. >> i thought it was a repeat of the greatest hits of the obama administration. >> what's change rouse is these two groups fight al qaeda will have the space to grow and post threats. >> the investigation will take another two to three days.

espn reporting that the findings appear to confirm. >> the mayor of paris feels she must now seek legal recourse because of repeated suggestions on fox news that her city was rife with terrorists. >> suits going nowhere. >> the alleged sexual assault took place in a frat house located off campus. the fraternity involved has been suspended until further notice. >> michelle obama made her own fashion statement, she got rave reviews. word is it's michael kors. i want one. if you're interested i take a size 12. 11 of the 12 balls were allegedly underinflated. >> having been a receiver i like a softer ball. >> i wasn't bad at it. soft hands, soft hands. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and vinita nair. norah o'donnell is in washington. president obama is telling congress and the country that it is time to turn the page from

the financial crisis and the recession and unemployment that followed. he used last night's state of the union address to push republicans to support the middle class instead of the rich. the president said his economic policy had made the state of the union of the strong. >> he also called for more cooperation from the republican-led congress. >> better politics is one where we debate without demonizing each other, we talk issues and values and principles and facts. rather than gotcha moments or trivial gaffes or fake controversies that have nothing to do with people's daily lives. if we're going to have arguments, let's have arguments. but let's make them debates worthy of this body and worthy of this country. i have no more campaigns to run. my only agenda -- [ applause ] >> i know because i won both of them. >> that is a line of the day for

a lot of people. it's getting a lot of pickups. the president also told republicans he would veto any bill reversing his policies on obamacare, immigration and financial regulation. >> yes, even republicans say that was a good line. with us here in washington house majority leader kevin mccarthy of california. congressman, good morning. you thought that was a good line. >> well played. >> i noticed last night when they announced that the president is entering the chamber, you were right there behind the president of the united states. since you were so close before did you find areas of cooperation? >> we go and greet prior, being majority leader that's the position i had there. we had dinner and able to meet her, john lewis. i told the president about it. she was able to greet her and say hello to her beforehand. that's really what we talked about. i went and did the march with john lewis in selma a couple years back. that was our conversation

mainly. >> let's talk about what the president said last night, he said we've seen the fastest economic growth in over a decade, the deficit has been cut by two-thirds the stock market has doubled, health care inflation is at its lowest rate in 50 years. does the president deserve any credit for that? >> look i think the president's worked hard. there are some challenges we could be much stronger. you can always pick different facts but if you look at the participation rate that zars me. it's 62.7%. this is the lowest it's been since jimmy carter, '78. that means people have given up looking. it lowers the unemployment. if you're giving up looking, you're giving up on your hopes and dreams. there is so many areas to look at our deficit is at $18 trillion that's larger than other whole economy. >> it's interesting. if you look at the polls, many people said they liked divided government. now, they say we don't want divided government anymore, we

want compromise. it's still not clear to me on what level the republicans, you're in the leadership in congress, are going to get any compromise and come together on anything with the president of the united states. >> i believe in divided government. historically we've done big things. reagan had tip o'neill and reformed the tax code. clinton it newt gingrich and bob dole and reformed welfare and balanced the budget. we're at the right place to be able to conquer a lot of the big challenges. i think the tune is the we should get down if someone's willing to work, we work with them. we're going to have different philosophical approaches. our government is divided that no one gets 100% of what they want. the president, if he wants to work with us we've only been here 2 1/2 weeks and he's put seven veto threats. that's probably not the best start. let us work the legislation. >> charlie? >> congressman, the question is about the vetoes. if in fact the president does

vote toe veto the keystone pipeline what will the republicans do. >> i think we'll try to override it or send it back to him. bill clinton vetoed welfare reform twice. he signed it the third time. we studied keystone for five years. every challenge the president's had about this and the court challenge, nebraska's taken that away. i think this is an easy place that we could find common ground, put people to work and actually make us more energy independent for the entire north america america. >> a lot of people are saying what happened last night and what the president laid out is setting the debate for the presidential campaign of 2016. if that is the question what do you think the debate is? >> i think the debate is what the future looks like. i mean we still have great challenges in foreign policy. i mean our friends don't trust us and our enemies don't fear us. i see economically, we've talked about the middle class but their income has dropped since the president's been in office.

it's really what's the future not just for you but for your children. those people will not give up hope looking for a job but have an opportunity for a job. there's so much fear that people coming out of college can't get a job and have such large debt. where is the growth and opportunity we have? i still believe america is the best country in the world and has the best opportunities. >> a lot of people feel that congressman, that america is the best place in the world. >> yes. >> when you were listening last night to the proposals, did you hear anything at all that you said, you know what that is a great idea. >> i think trade, perfect opportunity. when he talks about veterans, we've also passed hire more vets. last congress it got stuck in the senate. that's already gone through the house. when we look at authorization, cyber security, there's a lot of places we can start with common ground now. i think if that becomes law, it will show that one, we're competent, second, that the country can move forward and we can start tackling. >> the income inequality.

>> i think tax reform would be the best opportunity. the president want tos raise more taxes. we do not agree with that. simplification, closing the loopholes, i think that's a common ground place we can find and work towards. >> we will be watching and hope you will join us again. >> thanks for having me. >> ed looer mccarthy, thank you so much. gale? >> thank you, both. >> what you can do right this minute to make your new years resolutions a reality. jill

our "eye on money" series takes on the finance matters you care most about. this morning we're focusing on new years financial resolutions for 2015. cbs news poll shows americans are feeling the most positive about the economy since before the great recession. more than half say it's in good shape, up from 40% just a few months ago. cbs news business analyst jillingerjill schlesinger is with us now. good morning. you read a thing in the paper. >> most of the resolutions fall off around week three. >> three things everybody needs to do. >> everybody needs to think about having zero consumer debt meaning car loans and consumer debt. accumulate 6 to 12 months of emergency reserve funds.

that requires you to understand how much you actually spend. a lot of people don't do that. 6 to 12 months is the big number. eventually start to max out those retirement plan contributions. this year $18,000 for a 401(k) or 403(b). if you're over 50 you can pop in an extra 6,000. >> how do you do that living paycheck to paycheck? >> well, a lot of them don't. just try to do the best you can. >> insurance choices. >> i think it's important that people understand, there are tons of tools on the internet to go find insurance, whether it's life, health whether it's disability, long-term care. i want to make a special note here. for those people who have one parent working outside of the home, one person in the home we usually say insure the person who's working. don't do that. make sure you insure both people. because if you're stay-at-home spouse, something happens to him or her you are going to require more help. you should have insurance on

that stay-at-home parent as well. >> how do you decide when the right time is to renegotiate your mortgage? >> if you know you have a mortgage where you were unable to refinance because rates were higher or because you didn't have a lot of equity now is a fabulous time. rates are down below 4%, again, for a 30-year fixed. for those who have bad credit the parameters have started to change a little bit. so now would be a fabulous time to check it out. >> you say people should start thinking about estate planning. people hear the word estate and they think wealthy, not for me. >> estate means rich. >> or big debt. >> right, right. everybody needs very core documents prepared. a will that tells everyone where you want to go. where you watch the -- want to go? where you want your money to go a health care proxy, if you need a trust or do not resuscitate

order. go see a lawyer get the documents done. >> push past the three weeks. >> thank you so much. jill answered financial questions on twitter earlier this morning. search for the #beready. mark phillips is in london where this morning the sun is showing less skin. mark? >> sometimes what a newspaper doesn't print makes more news than when it does. the infamous page three girl is a gone girl. will the world ever be the same? that's ahead on "cbs this morning."

every day many people in britain buy "the sun" newspaper and go right to page 3. that's where you could always find a photo of a topless model or two but suddenly this morning those page 3 girls are gone from the tabloid. mark phillips is in london looking at what may be the end of a notorious edition. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. newspapers are usually about the great events of our time war and peerks politics and peace,

but not this paper. it's making news because of what it's not printing. on page 3, parent alal supervision is advised. it has its mix of sports celebrity gossip, maybe a little news and what has come to be known as the page 3 girl. a daily eyeful of lacey 22 or indy 24 from reading. just a bit of circulating enhancing fun, a harmless tradition the paper has argued misplaced, mashs, misogynistic sexism. >> page 3 image is often the biggest image of a woman in the newspaper. there's usually page after page of men fully clothed doing things and running the country achieving in sports. you know it's all about what they're doing. with women it's about what they

look like. >> but flip open the paper to page 3 now and and you get chicken breasts instead of the other kind a supermarket ad. flip once more and you've got nostalgia for the good old days and bad puns. in this london working man's cafe, it's the end of the world as we know it. >> i think it's a woman's right if she wants to get her -- >> rupert murdoch seen with the pape when he bought it in 1969 has been asking too. he's hedging his bets. topless women still adorn the paper's website and, anyway, the internet is full of that and more says columnist lentz. >> "the sun" paper was old-fashioned sexism and i don't

think many were that offended by it. >> reporter: not even apparently for the women who pose. >> it's not objectifying it. it's making them look more appeal. >> i think girls should be proud. >> reporter: "the sun" hasn't officially announced it's canceling its page 3 girls forever. maybe it's waiting to see what its circulation figures look like. >> this is a thing that goes to charlie. >> thank you, mr. phillips. >> i think looking at a great set of breasts are good but unless men are showing their penis, fine, let it go it's launched the careers of a lot of women. >> i know when not to get involved. >> good-bye to chelsea, lacy krclacey

this student where at one end he wants to do well and he wants to learn but on the other end he has such a short fuse. she was his ninth grade teacher. >> one day in my class he said to me he wants to commit suicide, and -- i'm sorry -- and i talked to him about why he wanted to commit suicide and he just said that he was going to die anyway he was going to get killed on the street. >> from that day on she has been his advocate, providing counseling and support. >> that was the first time a teacher ever went above and beyond to help me. ms. maclin, i have thanks you in the past but i don't think i remember telling you this. you changed my life. >> and that, according to david banks, the president and ceo of the school's foundation is the point of the eagle academy. >> we help young men understand what it takes to get the light
